GAME 57: DAL (34-23) @ ATL (17-41) | 107-111 loss

Sorry Cuban, but the refs didn't blow a 16 point lead or however high it was. The refs didn't make you play small ball. The refs didn't cause you to choke free throws, miss shots, not box out, etc. Take the loss and move on. Your coach lost this game, not the refs.

Will be an expensive vent.

Sorry Mark....the refs were and probably always will be ass but when we play small ball with JJ as a power forward we essentially putting a gun to our own heads and shooting. Not playing WCS/Boban = giving up free trips to the rim/FT line and for putbacks and then coming down on the other end and staying perimeter possession after possession because the other team is playing aggressively on the perimeter with SG/SFs and SF/PFs..... not 3 PGs and 2SFs outta postion.
Result- we lose when the 3s stop falling. But hey posting up is dead and not a good play anymore, same with mid range.... make some changes or get used to it mate. our ceiling if we make the playoffs currently is to hope we can get hot from 3 and beat a team 4 times. Good luck with that.

Mavs will be content finishing as the 7th or 8th seed this season. I can see them doing a few more tankjobs this season to rest Luka/KP...why not. The standings don't really matter, they're not getting a Top-4 seed and with the way they play at home, having homecourt advantage is pointless.
They will be underdogs in any 1st round series so they are just happy to be in the mix right now

I think this is actually incredibly accurate. 1) The Mavs need playoff experience in any form. 2) The Mavs need to preserve the health of their stars. 3) The Mavs can get the 18th pick if they play it right versus having the 24th pick and a not much better playoff position. That 18th pick could be crucial in upgrading the roster.

But but but "we already overpeformed" says some romantic posters. We are a young and LEARNING team. Give us some time. LMAO. In fact, they are really learning. They are learning how to lose in a worse way and they are sooo creative in that. That's something, too.

Wait so we do have our first rounder, in the trade forum I made people cry when I said we should tank this season since we decided not to contend. They said we didn’t own our pick, but I guess they were just trolling me. So now there is actually no reason to not aim for the 8th seed. Win/win: playoff experience, while maximizing our pick’s odds without giving up the playoffs

This the head-in-the-sand arrogance employed in 2006, when it was obvious we didn't match up well with the Warriors. The Mavs need to avoid the Lakers and/or Clippers if a second round appearance or better is the goal. WAB

I don't buy the team tank stuff.
And Fuerza's right, that was a flagrant for sure.

Because the 2nd seed is not guaranteed for them. |
